...literally the Scriptures should be interpreted. In the Broadman series, for example, sections contributed by President Roy Honeycutt of the S.B.C. seminary in Louisville contend that substantial portions of Exodus were written centuries after Moses, that Moses probably had an "inner experience" of God instead of seeing an actual burning bush, and that the Bible stories of the plagues of Pharaoh or the Prophet Elisha's miracles may well have been reshaped or exaggerated in transmission. That is a far cry from what many S.B.C. Sunday Schools teach...
Curiously, the real thing, nuclear war, was mentioned hardly at all. Federal Signal Corp. did push its big civil-defense sirens ("The wavering sound," explained Salesman Jerry Koster, "is when there's an actual attack"), but / only Walter Murphey came to Indianapolis eager to talk about war. Murphey, 73, is executive director of the American Civil Defense Association, an 800-member group that agitates, without much success, for federally funded bomb shelters. "That's our hang-up," he said. "Our reason for being is nuclear attack." Despite a voice just like Jimmy Stewart's and an utterly genial manner, Murphey...
...Museum, is the first American showcase for his impudent style. Critics generally praised the architect's drawings when they were first shown four years ago. Ada Louise Huxtable remarked, "The building is remarkable for the creative virtuosity with which its functions are accommodated while suggesting a monumentality that belies actual dimensions." She added, "This is not easy architecture. And it is not innocent architecture. It is knowledgeable, worldly, elitist and difficult . . . You've got to be as good as Stirling to pull it off." At Harvard, reaction to the new building is ranging from approval to outrage. John Coolidge, professor...
...taxes out of industries thought to be treated unduly mildly now. Banks and other financial institutions generally would have to pay more. For example, they could no longer defer tax on money added to reserves to guard against future loan losses. For the most part, they could deduct only actual rather than estimated future loan losses, and then only in the year that the loans prove to be uncollectible...
Women's studies, therefore, must necessarily be interdisciplinary. But it is not an esoteric or an unwieldy project for a responsible university. We support the establishment of a degree-granting committee for women's studies, similar to Social Studies or to History and Literature. Regardless of its actual structure, such a program would at least offer several introductory, interdisciplinary courses and tutorials which in time would be augmented by other gender-related courses in the various traditional departments. One such course already exists in General Education 100, "Introduction to Women's Studies," but this overwhelmingly popular offering is only taught...
